6.5x55 Woodleigh 160 grain. What col? How long????

[pbonura]

Just wondering if anyone has a load receipe for the woodleigh 160 for the 6.5x55. Woodleighs website list h1000 and h4350 but they indicate the bullet length is 1.381 inches. Going to load for my tikka 6.5x55. Just not sure what the col length is? Speers only has up to 140. Their site provides powders not col.

I'd check that data again. My book shows cartridge length of 2.155 to 2.165 and an OAL of 3.15.
1.381 doesn't even come up to the start of the shoulder.

1.381 inches from their site is the bullet length. Sorry mistake on my part not col. Not sure what col I should use.

Col referes to cartridge overal length not bullet length. I would load them to fit my magazine after checking where the bullet hits the lands.

Woodleighs are a good hunting bullet!

with those long heavy bullets, I'd load them as long as I can, so they feed from the mag, AND chamber.
